Serves 6

Pastry

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups sugar

1/2 cup very cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces

2 extra-large egg yolks, lightly beaten

1/4 cup ice water

Combine the flour, salt and sugar in a mixing bowl. Cut the butter into the flour mixture, using a pastry blender, until the mixture resembles coarse meal. With your hands, gradually add the egg yolks and ice water until a ball of dough is formed (do not overwork the dough). Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes. When the dough is chilled, roll it on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of about 1/8 inch. Make a circle 12 inches in diameter. Place the dough in a 10-inch pie pan and preheat the oven to 375 F.
